Upgrading to a new Xiaomi phone can be exciting, but the thought of transferring your contacts, photos, and messages might seem like a hassle.

If you prefer a free and official solution provided by Xiaomi, Mi Mover is a great choice. It is a built-in app on most Xiaomi devices and allows you to transfer data wirelessly without needing a computer or cables.
However, since it relies on wireless connectivity, the transfer speed and stability may be affected by distance, interference, or device performance.
Step 1. Open Mi Mover on both devices. On the new phone, choose "New", and on the old phone, choose "Old".
Step 2. Use the old phone to scan the QR code displayed on the new phone to establish a connection.
Step 3. Once connected, select "Contacts" from the data list and tap "Start Transfer" to begin.
Step 4. Keep both devices close together and wait for the transfer to complete.
If you use a Google account on your Xiaomi phone, syncing contacts to your Google account can be one of the easiest and most efficient ways to transfer contacts. By syncing your contacts to Google, they are stored in the cloud, allowing you to easily access them on any other device linked to the same account. This method is especially useful for users who want to ensure their contacts stay up to date across multiple devices. However, it does require an internet connection, and you need to make sure that your contacts are properly synced before switching devices.
Here is how it works:
Step 1. First, make sure that your source Xiaomi phone is connected to a Google account. Go to "Settings" > "Accounts" > "Add Account", and select "Google". Sign in with your Google account credentials.
Step 2. Once your Google account is added, go back to "Settings" > "Accounts" > "Google". From there, make sure that "Contacts" is selected to sync. Tap "Sync now" to start uploading your.
Step 3. On your new Xiaomi device, go to "Settings" > "Accounts" > "Add Account" and sign in with the same Google account. This ensures that the same contacts stored in your Google account are available on the new device.
Step 4. After signing in to your Google account, go to "Settings" > "Accounts" > "Google", and select "Contacts". Tap on "Sync now" to begin syncing your contacts from Google to your new Xiaomi device. Once completed, your contacts will be transferred, and you can access them in the Contacts app.
If you don't want to use apps, accounts, or internet connections, transferring contacts via a SIM card is a traditional but straightforward option. This method involves exporting contacts to the SIM card on your old phone and then importing them to your new device. However, due to the limited storage capacity of SIM cards and their inability to store full contact details, this method is generally less recommended for large or complex contact lists.
Step 1. On your old Xiaomi phone, open Contacts, go to "Settings" or "Import/Export", and choose "Export to SIM card".
Step 2. Power off the device, remove the SIM card, and insert it into the new Xiaomi phone.
Step 3. On the new phone, open Contacts, go to "Import/Export", and select "Import from SIM card" to save contacts.
1. Why are some contacts missing after transfer?
This usually happens when contacts are stored in different locations (SIM card, phone storage, or cloud). Make sure all contacts are visible and synced before transferring.
2. How can I prevent losing contacts during the transfer process?
To prevent losing contacts, it is crucial to back up your data before initiating the transfer. You can back up your contacts to a Google account, or even export them to a SIM card or local storage. Ensuring that your contacts are synced or backed up before transferring is the best way to keep them safe.
3. Will my contacts be automatically updated across devices if I use Google sync?
Yes, once your contacts are synced to your Google account, any changes you make to your contacts on one device will automatically update across all devices linked to that Google account.
Transferring contacts from Xiaomi to Xiaomi is easy with methods like Google account syncing, Mi Mover, or a SIM card. However, while syncing via Google or Mi Mover is convenient, it requires an internet connection, and SIM card transfers are limited by storage capacity and only transfer contacts saved to the SIM.
For a fast, secure, and error-free transfer, Coolmuster Mobile Transfer is the best option. It offers a one-click solution to move all your contacts quickly without any data loss, making the process seamless and efficient.
